Scourge of War Waterloo - Ligny DLC - A Virtual Tour of the Sombreffe Position

This blog post contains images from the recently released Ligny DLC for Scourge of War Waterloo and excerpts from the controversial book 1815 The Waterloo Campaign by (the no less controversial) Peter Hofschroer. Book quotes are in italics.




"The terrain around Sombreffe gave a number of advantages to the defence. The undulating countryside contained considerable areas of dea ground in which troops could be hidden"


"The tall crops, at the time often the height of a man or more, added to the possibilities for concealment."


"The village of Ligny spread over a extent of around 1 km, with its longest axis running from south-west to north-east"


"From Ligny to Mont Potriaux, the [Ligne] brook ran through a marshy meadow which could only be crossed by troops with the greatest difficulty".
